2.1.2 JP1 – Wireless Interface Connector

The JP1 is a pin header that can be used for plug-on of the RF board from the eZ430-RF2500 kit, which is separately available. With this additional module, the colors of the lamp can be controlled remotely through the wireless RF interface.

NOTE

The firmware included in the standard EVM does not currently support wireless modules. Users who wish to use wireless are required to write their own (simple) routines. Different software libraries support the realization of star-networks or point-to-point wireless connections using MSP430 microcontrollers. These libraries include SimpliciTi (star network) or MSP430 and CC2500 code library (point-to-point connection).

NOTE

When the wireless module is connected to the standard EVM, the power requirement increases. To support this higher power requirement, change resistor R11 to a 0805 68-Ω resistor.
